There Is a Woman Who Lives In a Pipe
There Is a Woman Who Lives in a Pipe
By Elton Camp
This poem won’t be another humor write
For it describes a true but miserable sight
It is in India that this woman does exist
Normal comforts of life, she has missed
Because grinding poverty is her daily lot
And for a home, a pipe is all she’s got
Although she survives in fear & desperation
She is making the best she can of the situation
From her home, she can look out and see
Magnificent homes where the rich will be
Who will act to rescue her from her plight
Remove from the scene this awful blight
If, to human dignity, continues such insult
Who can know what will be the final result
(Sadly, this is all-too-true. To see the woman sitting outside her
humble home, go here: http://www.scribd.com/doc/81138265/There-is-a-Woman-Who-Lives-in-a-Pipe )
